El Kanemi plan Ghana, Togo pre-season tours

The management of El Kanmei Warriors of Maiduguri have made arrangements to tour Ghana and Togo as part of preparation for the 2014/2015 Glo League season.

The club’s chairman, Zanah Mohammed Kakaje, who revealed this to SportingLife through the club’s media officer, Anthony Obaseki, said the management made the arrangement to keep the players fit for the coming season.

The team which resumed camping on Monday, will round up training in Maiduguri at the end of the month before moving to Kano for closed camping.

According to Kakaje, the Warriors will move down to Lagos to engage some clubs in friendly matches after completing their camping in Kano.

“I want to inform you that we will be in Kano next month and from there we are going to Lagos where we will play some friendly games. We have also made arrangements to go to Ghana and Togo for some friendly matches, then we will come back home to face the new season,” Obaseki told SportingLife.

“We are happy with the level of preparation and the response of the players. So far the technical crew is doing its best to put the team in shape before the start of the new season.

“Whatever went wrong last season will be corrected, that is why we started preparation for the new season very early.”

Obaseki also revealed that the club has recruited good legs to replace the top players that left the Warriors.

“We lost some of our best players but I thank God we have also got replacements for them.

“I want to say here that you are going to see a new brand El Kanemi Warriors when the season kicks off,” Obaseki concluded.
